Timetable for applications
The application procedure for research grants is in two stages. Stage 1 is a short outline application. These are reviewed by the Research Advisory Committee and successful applicants at Stage 1 will be invited to Stage 2 and asked to complete a more detailed Stage 2 application. Stage 2 applications are subject to full internal and external peer review. Recommendations for funding are made by the Research Advisory Committee at a meeting in July, for consideration by the Trustees at their meeting in July.
